what is the purpose of education in context of poverty elevation?

[anuradha g]

we see educated people get richer and those who work hard remains poor do education teaches people to exploit others

[I , a Bolshevik]

Please , never ever renounce to your right to education,that is what Capitalists want.Why do you think Public Education is on retreat?The reason is that Capitalist think it is worthless to massively educate people.They want that parents pay for the education of their sons ( at the same time it opens another business, the Education business),and the money now used for public education be used to subsidize their bankrupted economy.

No education does not teach people to exploit others. An education simply opens doors for opportunity to make more money. Without an education it rarely matters how hard you work, you will still be stuck in menial low paying jobs. Everyone in this country has the opportunity to obtain an education. So there really is no excuse for being stuck in low paying crappy jobs.

It's unfortunate but the system is set up to reward those with higher education....it has nothing to do with how hard you work. This trend started in the mid 70's and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. So YOU have to ask yourself.....
am I willing to jump through these hoops.
